Finally got it LOW. Got a few questions..

[J-dub]

Just got my truck from a friend of mines shop. The front is about an inch from starting to tuck tire and I'm going to set the back level with that.

I have keys up front, 5" DJM springs in the back, and DJM shocks in the back.

Let's just say, it rides OK. The ride isn't my problem. The front creaks. I'm not sure if it's the bump stops or something more serious. If it's the bump stops, just remove them, correct? As for the rear I wanna get it just before tucking tire, which is about 1.5" more. Should I get the 5.5" TB springs? If so will I need shock extenders with my DJM shock?

I just wanna get it all straight before I get it aligned.

Also just talked to my friend, he said it could partially be the RLTA which I was going to order this week anyways.. Would that help?

She's a dirty HOE but here's a few. The back needs to go DOWNNNN

do you have the extenders out back?
Looks great!!
The bump stops I just cut mine half way, some cut and grind them all the way off..

I wouldn't remove your front bump stops.....you can order some low profile poly's and cut off the stock stops and replace them but if you just take out the factory stops you're likely to hit the brackets.......as afar as out back there are plenty of options and I'm sure Tony will chime in but you'll need to cut your rear bump stop brackets off (free travel mod) if you haven't already. I opted for a simple bag setup in the rear since my static drop had rubbing issues anytime I put anyone in the truck, even my wife. When you go super low with a static drop you have to remember that any extra weight is going to have a profound impact on things.....

I looked on my lunch break, they aren't there. Just the bracket. I may remove the bracket and put new smaller bump stops on.

I have the free travel mod, I don't bottom at all. It just rides... not so great. I'd love to bag the back, just don't really know how to go about it.

Meet me somewhere at a shop and pay to swap tires and I'll trade! I've been looking for new ones lol.

Everything up front looks good, EXCEPT for one of the ball joints looks a little rough but it doesn't look like it would creak. I think I need to put some grease on my shock mounts though.

looks good

Thanks bro!

are those Status knights WHEELS?

 

[slocaddy]

what size are your tires? front stance looks great

 

[J-dub]

Yep, Status Knight 6's.

265/40/22, thanks man!

So... I still don't see what would be creaking...

in rear you need the hardware kit by djm and I have the 6 inch rear drop springs for them and rides great (i use them with the belltech shocks the djms ride stiff)

the rear blue djm coils I HAVE NOT sold in over 8 years. Ever since the Trailblazer coils come out they ride better than the blue coils.

so you know

ON A 265 40 22 with the rear springs I sell your truck would sit at 31.25 to 31.75 from ground to fenderlip.
